Chesstown King's Reviews and Thoughts

 I just beat Spider-Man 2 last night. Omg it was so good. The combat felt and traversal felt better than the first game . However the story wasn’t really as good. The game is open world throughout basically the same New York as the first game which is cool. The game lets you play as Peter Parker and Miles Morales. Both are similar but have different special attacks. At first Peter has the mechanical arms from the marvel movies. But later he gets the black symbiotic suite. It’s very powerful and plays a role in the late game. Miles has electric attacks and they’re very potent. He can turn invisible too but I often forgot I could do that.  You also get access to upgradable gadgets like the upshot that really help out a lot in battle. This game has quite a bit of enemy variety too. Early in the game you’ll be facing alot of Kraven’s hunters. There’s a lot of different types. There’s just regular dudes, shooters, snipers, shield wielding ones, and sword wielding ones. The sword gu...

 This new Rick Ross album is pretty good. When I looked on iTunes and saw a lot of negative reviews it was due to people dissing the album cause he pushed the release date back lol. Ross raps of elegance and such. "Mahogany Caskets" which features T.I. is a banger. I love the energy the two have here. "Minks in Miami" is another great track with a dope beat. That one features French Montana and Max B. I'm happy that Ross brought back the Maybach Music song series with "Maybach Music VII". It's pretty damn good but I'm not really feeling the Don Toliver hook tho....Jeezy raps well on it of course. "Living Large" which features BigXthaPlug is one of my favorites. "City Lights" with the Dream is another highlight. I liked "She's My Star" with Yung Miami too. Overall this is a good album but maybe a little average for Rick Ross. I wasn't disappointed by it. Look he's been out for 20 years at this point. Ros...

This album hit me by surprise and it is a worth successor to the Documentary series .The Game spits really well here but that doesn't really surprise me. He always seems to bring it lyrically. Honestly this album grew on me. At first I want too big on it. A song like "Sticks" is kinda odd but I like it. "Geezus", the first song is really dope as Game raps, "Ima make you a celebrity overnight". I didn't really like the song "Party at Game's"....I mean I see what he was going for but nah. "Baby" is pretty damn good tho as it samples Ashanti's old song with the same name. There's 2 Kanye West assisted songs "40 Nights" and "LA Monster". Both are great.Kanye is really great on the former."Do You Love Me" is interesting as a woman tells Game "yeah I love you" LOL.The Game gets really personal on songs like "Nothing 2 Hide" and "Meet the Parents". "I Won'...

  6) Tha Carter VI: It’s no secret the latest Carter album is the worst. Most of these songs are pretty mid to bad. What was he thinking on “Peanuts 2 N Elephant”? I kinda like “Cotton Candy” with 2 Chainz. “Welcome to Tha Carter” is great. I liked “Hip-Hop” which featured BigXthaPLug. “Island Holiday” and “If I Played Guitar” were very bad tho. Overall you can see why many said Wayne was washed in 2025. D+ 5)Tha Carter: I gotta admit I haven’t listened to this one that much. It’s fun to hear a pretty young Wayne here. He’s not as refined here but he’s still pretty good. I love “Bring It Back” and “Go DJ” helped put him on the map. “I Miss My Dawgs” and “Cash Money Millionaires” was good too. Overall yeah its a decent album.  B- 4)Tha Carter V: I’ve listened to this album all the way through only a few times. The album is very top heavy imo. There’s some really great songs here like “Dedicate” and “Uproar”. Weezy’s mic presence is pretty good here. I love the storytelli...

Opening Opinion 98/100 Disc 29 29 Intro-An old timey like song plays about going to Carolina. It kinda sets the tone for the theme of the album. This album is a love letter to J.Cole’s hometown. Gunshots end the track which is wild.  6/10 Two Six-The lead single. I love Cole’s flows on this track. The beat is fire too. It sounds laid back and menacing.   9/10 SAFETY-J.Cole’s raps from the perspective of his friends from his hometown telling him about what’s been going on. It’s really creative and well produced. When he talks about the gay guy he almost calls him the f word but he stops himself lol. 9.5/10 Run A Train-This is a pretty interesting song. J.Cole is joined by Future who sounds pretty invigorated on the chorus. “Fuck do you know about my passion, fuck do you know about my pain, fuck do you know about my struggle, fuck do you know about Jermaine?”. It’s a decent song. It’s pretty laid back. 8/10 Poor Thang-This is a more intense song. I love Cole’s break down when he...

 Have you been wondering what video games I've been playing since the late 2010s and till now in the mid 2020s? Well here you go Ok so after I traded in the Xbox One in 2018 I got a Nintendo Switch. OMG this thing was great. I think Breath of the Wild was my first game. I would get Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Super Mario Odyssey too. I was still playing my ps4 a lot too. I was playing God of War (2018) and Horizon Zero Dawn.....but I wouldn't beat either one of those until about 2020. For Switch I would eventually put over 500 hours into Super Smash Bros. Ultimate making it my most played fighting game! Later for PS4 I was able to play games that were technically ps5 games like Horizon Forbidden West and God of War Ragnaraok. Both games were absolutely amazing! Back on the Switch I would play some really great games like Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Zelda Skyward Sword remastered. I really was playing quite a few Pokemon games annually too like Shield, then Brilliant Diamond, t...
